Family Spring Break In Arizona
If you’re looking for a Spring Break destination that is both warm and exciting, look no further than Arizona. If your family is like mine and loves to travel, you’ll especially love this state. Arizona has so many options for just about everyone in the family. This is why I chose to take my family on Spring Break there.
Spring break is a time for parents and kids to enjoy the outdoors together. Arizona has plenty of things for your family to do that won’t break the bank. A trip to the Desert Botanical Garden is a great first stop due to its central location. On weekdays, general admission is only $7 per person, which can save you some money if you are planning on visiting more than one attraction during your outer-state spring break vacation. As spring approaches, and the weather gets warmer, families are looking to do more things outdoors. With resorts and attractions located all across Arizona, there is something for everyone during the spring season.
The economic slowdown has really hit Arizona, a state that relies heavily on tourism revenue. In the past few years, many businesses had to lay off employees, and this was undoubtedly hard for extended families that relied on 2 incomes. The lower wages also meant vacation time was no longer an option for many. But during the recession, businesses have been forced to compete more aggressively for customers which is resulting in a lot of value when it comes to vacations.
